Re: Request for a DLT code for IPMB packet

["Toeung, Chanthy" <chanthy.toeung () ca kontron com>]

Does the USB captured mode work in Wireshark? I mean when i list all the interface, it doesn't detect any USB device 
that connected to my pc. SO what is the version of Lippcap that support this USB device?

Oh i used to try to create a pcap format too, but it doesnt work, and i met too many bugs, that is the reason that i 
decided to create hexdump format.

Thanks,

Chanthy

OK, DLT_IPMB has been assigned the value 199.

Actually, it might be easier just to save it in libpcap format, using,  
for example, the pcap_dump routines in libpcap.

You might also be able to put that capture engine into libpcap, so  
Wireshark, for example, could do the capturing directly.

In the "current tar" version of libpcap, see "pcap-usb-linux.c" and  
"pcap-usb-linux.h".
